Pilot Study of the Safety of a Daily Ethanol Lock for Urinary Catheters in Critically Ill Children
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Ethanol Lock for Complication of Urinary Catheter. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Hypothesis 1: Blood alcohol concentration will be \<25 mg/100ml (equivalent to a blood alcohol concentration of \<0.025%) after a 1 hour urinary catheter ethanol lock. Hypothesis 2: Daily urinary catheter ethanol locks will not result in increased hematuria or increased urinary white cells.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Ethanol lock, utilizing 74% ethanol, will begin within 24 hours of urinary catheter placement. The lock will be done every 24 hours for 1 hour. The volume that will be instilled depends upon the fill volume of the catheter, which is imprinted by the manufacturer on each catheter. Once the alcohol is in the catheter, the proximal end of the catheter will be clamped for 1 hour. After the 1 hour dwell time, the clamp will be removed and the alcohol in the lumen of the catheter will be flushed out by the patient's own urine output.
